ANTISOCIAL AND CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR

Adjourned debate on motion of Hon. R.B. Such:

That this house establish a select committee to inquire into and report upon—

(a) the causes of antisocial and criminal behaviour in South Australia;

(b) the strategies that could and should be used to reduce and deal with offending;

and any other matter.

(Continued from 15 May 2013.)

The Hon. R.B. SUCH (Fisher) (11:03): I will not delay the house but I am very pleased that the government and the opposition are supporting this select committee. I think we need to have a look at some of the causes of the issues giving rise to anti-social and criminal behaviour in our society and, importantly, how we can reduce the incidence of those and deal with offending and, essentially, reoffending. With those remarks, I will conclude.

Motion carried.

The Hon. R.B. SUCH (Fisher) (11:05): I move:

That the select committee consist of Mr Sibbons, Ms Bettison, Mr Pederick, Mrs Redmond and the mover.

Motion carried.

The Hon. R.B. SUCH: I move:

That the select committee have power to send for persons, papers and records and to adjourn from place to place and to report on 13 November 2013.

Motion carried.

The Hon. R.B. SUCH: I move:

That standing order 339 be and remain so far suspended as to enable the select committee to authorise the disclosure or publication as it thinks fit of any evidence presented to the committee prior to such evidence being reported to the house.

The SPEAKER: I have counted the house and, an absolute majority not being present, ring the bells.

An absolute majority of the whole number of members being present:

Motion carried.
